Free Weight Loss Tips Atkins Diet
1 – Drink Plenty of Water – Drink at least 8 glasses of water per day, not just for the fact that it helps the body to flush itself out of toxins but water is also necessary for the metabolism of your stored fat. This is because you put more of a workload on your liver and away from your kidneys. Your liver is important to metabolize fat so don’t give it extra work to do!
2 – Read All Food Labels – If you want the best results from your Atkins you need to become more aware of carb counts and ingredients in all your food stuffs.
3 – Get a Buddy – Any diet can be hard going and there will be days when you’ll want to give up so why not share your dieting with others. It’s a great way to help motivate each other and you won’t feel like the only one on the planet on a diet. If you haven’t got a close friend to diet along with, why not join one on the online weight loss forums?
4 – Cut Back on Caffeine – If you want to lose weight faster you’re going to need to either lower your daily caffeine intake or cut it out all together. Caffeine increases insulin levels in the body and lows down the burning of your stored fat. Shop around for decaf coffee/teas or just kick this habit into touch.
5 – Take Supplements – If you’re find that you’re suffering from leg cramping it could be a sign of low mineral levels namely calcium or potassium. Take a vitamin and mineral supplement and this problem should go away but if doesn’t either stop the diet for a number of days or contact your doctor.
6 – Feeling Weak – If you’re feeling weak and lacking in energy it could be a sign that you need to increase your carb levels. Try adding a bit more and see if this helps to resolve the problem.
7 – Reached a Plateau – If you’re finding that the scales aren’t moving any more you may have hit a dieting plateau, don’t give up and carry on as you are. If it goes on longer than a month with no results take a look at your carb intake. You may be consuming more carbs than you think. Check labels again or you may be eating too much cheese, nuts etc.
8 – Take a Before Picture – We can sometimes forget how far we’ve come in a diet and how we looked beforehand. Why not take a picture before you start and possibly one each week to chart your progress, it can motivate and possibly others to lose weight.
9 – Clear Out Your Kitchen – If you’re really serious about sticking to the Atkins diet you’re going to need to get all that old temptation out of the way. Clear out all high carb and junk/snack foods out of your press and fridge, this way you’ve got nothing at home that can lead you “into temptation.”
10 – Carry Low Carb Snacks With You – There will be times when hunger strikes and if you’re not ready with a low carb snack to get you through you’re going to reach for the first high unhealthy snack that comes into reach. Have a few Atkins snack bars in your car or bag in these situations.
11 – Eating Out – Many restaurants now have a low carb dishes, that you order if you’re on the Atkins diet but what if you’re eating out at a friends? In this situation you could bring your own meal over and if you’re afraid of insulting your host why not bring a dish that you can share. This helps to show others that low carb dieting doesn’t have to be boring and restrictive and who knows you may get others that join you on your weight loss path.
